Been eating really healthy the last couple of months and that has included tapering off sugar. I do have a spoon of it over my morning oatmeal and fruit every so often but that is the extent of it. I used to eat one or two candy bars at a sitting every day as well as drink Mexican Coca Cola (Cane Sugar, no HFCS) and use sugar in cooking (brings out the flavors).
Someone I know was having a goodbye party yesterday and I went there after work. A piece of cake and two chocolate-chip cookies later and I was ridin' high. Talk about sugar buzz. It is amazing how much we can get used to if we do it on a regular basis. It was actually a very uncomfortable sensation. I found myself unable to sleep last night so I took an OTC sleeping pill - do not like them as I am still very groggy that next morning - but it worked. Still feeling the effects after 24 hours...
Needless to say, not having any appreciable amounts of sugar for a long long time.
